[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 503734, member: 3305"] Well, hmmm... I am definitely getting conflicting advice. husband and my mother (who never agree on anything...or at least they'd both like to think so, lol) Believe that by allowing grandson to talk about his feelings, validate this "talk" that it will only encourage him to use these "powerful words" again and again. They think that he could not does not know what killing oneself means at all and that he is only saying these things because he can get a reaction...that this is all learned behavior. My mother likened it to using cuss words from a small child. They are shocking and powerful and throw mom off track, etc. Geez, I'm so confused. LMS [/QUOTE]
